UV Fused Silica

Where to begin

An optical substrate to consider when ultraviolet transmission or low thermal expansion matters.

Design consideration

Choose a grade for the actual wavelength band.

Confirm the finished optic

The spectral regions on this site are orientation notes, not guaranteed transmission ranges. Ask for the material grade, thickness and measured transmission curve; include the coating and operating temperature in your review.
